also bradley manning on wanting to change his gender in a military prison. and thoughts on miley cyrus. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone "the factor" begins right now. >> bill: hi. i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching tonight. the big event marketing the 50th anniversary of dr. king's "i have a dream" speech, the subject of tonight's talking points memo. all over the world people are honoring the memory of dr. king, an extraordinary speech on august 28th, 1963. in washington, people listened to a variety of speakers today with president obama as the headliner. president clinton described it as an observance of one of the most important days in american history. that's true. what mr. clinton and no one else mentioned there's today's event

exclude black republicans and conservatives. all speakers were democrats. that was a glaring error, and does not indicate a desire for inclusion. most of the speeches were, however, uplifting and respectful to america, but not all. >> somewhere along the way white sheets were traded for button-down white shirts. attack dogs and water hoses were traded for tasers and widespread implementation of stop and frisk policies. nooses were traded for handcuffs. >> bill: that kind of grievance mongering does the cause of civil rights no good whatsoever, period. the nation's first black president was the star of the day, giving an energetic presentation. he began with the history of dr. king's speech in times 50 years ago. then president obama turned political. >> the gap in wealth between

races is not lessened, it's grown. as president clinton indicated, the position of all working americans, regardless of color, has eroded, making the dream dr. king described even more elusive. >> whose fault is that? the reason working americans are having such a hard time is twofold. first mr. obama's attempt to manage the economy from washington. that's largely failed. the private sector must drive economic expansion, not the feds, and the president has not yet embraced that. second, the skill level of many americans is declining. even if jobs become more plentiful, you have to be able to do them. you have to speak proper english, be able to do basic math, and conduct yourself responsibly. millions of americans have not mastered the basics of the marketplace. that is the truth.

the president then continued his economic theme. >> the measure of progress for those who marched 50 years ago was not merely how many blacks could join the ranks of millionaires, it was whether this country would admit all people who were willing to work hard regardless of race into the ranks of the middle class life. >> bill: now having worked in corporate america for more than 35 years, i know firsthand that the private sector is seeking minority workers, wants them, recruits them. but they have to perform and have enough educational success to get a shot. there is little institutional bias anymore in this country. if you practice that, you'll get sued. that being said, there is -- there is -- individual bigotry, but not can ever wipe that out entirely. as john mcwater wrote in the "wall street journal" today, dwelling on idiots who embrace prejudicial behavior is like dwelling on a world with germs,

except the fact that some things are always going to be there. finally president obama entered the world of reality. >> if we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that during the course of 50 years there were times when some of us claiming to push for change lost our way. the anguish of assassinations set up self-defeating rites. legitimate grievances against police brutality tipped into excuse-making for criminal behavior. racial politics could cut both ways as the transformative message of unity and brotherhood was drowned up to speed by the language of recriticism nation. the chance for all americans to work hard, get ahead, was too

often framed as a mere desire for government support. as if we had no agency in our own liberation. as if poverty was an excuse for not raising your child, bigotry of others was reason to give up on yourself. all of that history is how progress stalled. >> bill: how progress stalled. that was a great statement. accurate and important. fair-minded americans want all of their fellow citizens to succeed. i believe most of us of fair-minded. but self-reliance and hard work is the key to success in life no matter what color you are. president obama and many in the civil rights industry believe that government must provide -- provide for those who fail. even if it's their own fault they fail. the left wants paternalism. cradle the grave protections. if you oppose that philosophy,

there's something wrong with you. in some cases, they'll accuse of you bigotry. america remains the land of opportunity, but only for those who are honest and irresponsible. if you are irresponsible, lazy or corrupt, this country can be a tough place. dr. martin luther king jr. wanted well opportunity for all. while that has not been totally accomplished, our system is moving toward it. and finally, i want to end this memo with the words of congressman john lewis who was with dr. king 50 years ago. >> we may have come here on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now. so it doesn't matter whether you're black or white, latinos, asian american or native american, whether we are gay or straight, we're one people, we're one family. we all live in the same house. not just the american house, but

the world house. >> bill: i like that guy. that's a memo. next on the rundown, james carville and i will debate it. and we are coming right back.

with you, i don't know who put it on, who invited -- >> bill: naacp put it on in association with some other liberal groups. >> the former presidents speaking i think was president. >> bill: is not george w. bush a former president? >> i do not know that he wasn't invited. >> bill: he wasn't. no republicans and no conservatives were invited. >> if it would have been me, i would have invited president george w. bush. >> bill: you see that was a mistake certainly. look, as if the congressman said at the end, we're all in the same boat. where's the conservative side to that boat? >> again, if it were me, i would have invited president bush. i didn't control it. >> bill: did i go wrong any place in that memo? >> i don't think it's political at all to point out that the wealth, the wealth gap is not substantially improved at all. in fact, it's not very good. i don't think some of the -- the fact we need to do something about the middle class. i wrote an entire book about

that. i think that's more faction than anything else. >> bill: i'm not saying it isn't fact chill, but the policies they're instituting can't help it. the government can't run the private sector. >> this problem is brought on by a recession because of excessive leverage and risk taking. >> bill: that's in the past. we're five years away from that now. we were promised a new vision, a new economic program that was going to lift all boats, and it's failed. let's face it, it hasn't worked. it's not going to work. >> we've had improvement, but these -- >> bill: improvement? we haven't had improvement. median income is down. black unemployment is up. there hasn't been improvement. >> sure. the job sector has had some growth. we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. >> bill: that's for everybody. you're talking about middle-class charles. wait. >> okay, go ahead. >> bill: let's be clear. there's been no improvement for working americans and black americans in the economic precincts. none. it's gotten worse.

worse. >> in january '09 compared to now, i think that the number of african americans that were losing their jobs was substantially higher. >> bill: the unemployment rate has doubled of white america. it's doubled. there's no improvement there. >> it hasn't doubled since obama took office. >> bill: no. but it hasn't improved. the word is, it hasn't improved. >> wait a minute. you said doubled. now improved. >> bill: no, no. >> the employment rate has improved. >> bill: what's the matter with you carville today? the black unemployment rate is double that of whites, and hasn't improved under president obama's administration. >> oh, okay. when he took office, again, when you look -- we can argue, this but i agree completely that the -- that we had a recession that was very nasty caused by risk taking and leverage. these things take a long time to crawl out of. >> bill: all right. i would like to see a strategy. see you're a sports fan. you got the saints helmet behind you. all right? when the new coach comes in, says i'm going to turn it around, we're going to be

winning, how many years you give him? three? four? five? i mean, come on. you got to have improvement. it's not happening, not happening. >> we've had -- we've had -- the unemployment rate has come down. >> bill: not for black americans it hasn't. >> the deficit is coming down. >> bill: all right. >> you know, these things are very deep. the poor people tend to be the people that recover -- recover later. >> bill: because the poor people have the fewest skills in general. that's the problem. see? there hasn't been a microlight or laser shined on the poor precincts to say, this is what you need to do to succeed. it's all about grievances and -- even you're going into the past. "oh, it's the recession." >> i'm living in a city where we've doubled the number of african american students performing at the -- >> bill: because you've gone to charter schools away from public schools. >> we've got a terrific

hard-working young scholars here. we got to give these credits here. >> bill: you're going against your own party's orthodoxy. the reason education in new orleans is rising is because you dumped out of the public school system and went to charter schools. this is what the democratic party fights against. >> the biggest supporters we have is the secretary of education, supported by president obama. >> bill: you just had a lawsuit filed for giving vouchers. >> these are vouchers going schools teaching creationism and stuff. don't get me started on that. >> bill: let's get back to the general theme. >> okay. >> bill: president obama to his credit, all right, lay out a vision that you got to get away from the grievance industry. however first sound bite, white sheets, now white collars. when is that stuff going to stop? when is it going to stop? >> by and large -- i think president obama in terms of a model for african americans, or

for anybody, for a family man, he's terrific in the image he presents. we have terrific mayors out there. mayor reed in atlanta. mayor brown in jacksonville. more nutter, mayor booker, governor deval. >> bill: you're avoiding my question. i know there are terrific people in the democratic party. you had a speaker who comes in -- here it is, here it is. white collars, replaced white sheets. it's all bad. the country's bad. blah, blah, blah. when is that going to stop? >> but you listen to the former president, the current president give uplifting terrific speeches, and you want to spend your time on what the first speaker said. >> bill: no. i want a balanced approach. we gave credit and criticized. >> i agree with you. i like what president obama and president clinton said much more than this guy said. you know, everybody's got a point of view. the guy laid his out. i don't think his point of view is a point of view that's a

dominant point of view across this country. >> bill: i hope not. >> i don't think it's the kind of people that the african american -- >> bill: we're fighting it. we're fighting a good fight. >> i give you credit for what you said about the president. >> bill: thank you. the u.s. gearing up for military action against syria. we'll have the latest. and dennis miller on miley why do people count on sunsweet prune juice to stay fit on the inside? it's made only from prunes, nothing else. it works, simple as that. it's a natural source of fiber and five essential vitamins. it's the smart choice for me. stay fit on the inside with sunsweet's amazing juices.

>> bill: war with syria. because that country recently used poison gas to kill civilians, president obama is compelled -- compelled -- to take strong action against the assad regime because he had promised to do so, but what will he do, and when will he do it?

joining us, james rosen. rosen, what have you found out for us? >> here at the state department i learned that tomorrow, thursday, we're expecting to see members of congress briefed by the obama administration on the evidence they have, the intelligence they have collected, from israel and other sources, proving that the syrian regime did indeed use chemical weapons and kill upwards of 1,000 people on august 21st. that provision of that intelligence material to the congress will be coupled with an unclassified version going out to us, the public. after that, the predicate will be laid for military action. most observers expect that this will not be extensive military action, but today some officials did drop some hints, more or less confirmed to me, that the president is not just going to hit the assad regime simply to punish him for using chemical weapons, but actually going to try to degrade his ability to use those weapons again, and thereby help the syrian rebels. there had been a lot of concern that that wasn't a goal for this

military operation to help the rebels, but i've heard that it is. >> bill: on the right there are a lot of people who don't believe the u.s. government, says it's lying about the gas, that the rebels use it, all that conspiratorial stuff, there was a fiscal intercepted from the syrian foreign minister to whoever's in charge of the gas cache that they have, saying what the f did you do kind of a panicked phone call. can you confirm that call was taped and we have it? >> i don't confirm that language either in syrian or english, or arabic or english, but yes, the united states did have access to that intercepted intelligence. it came via the israelis. our sources told us the israeli defense forces have something called their intelligence unit 8200, which does listening, intercepts, they shared that with the national security -- >> bill: good. rosen, thank you. i want everybody to note what rosen is saying now, because we hear a lot of this

conspiratorial garbage and you can't use that to make informed decisions. americans need to make informed decisions. cameron, over to you. you'll remember in 2007 that president bush was saber-rattling against iran. all right? because iran was doing all kinds of things, the nukes, all of that. here's advice vice president biden said. roll the tape. >> i'm going to deliver to the whole united states senate pointing out the president has no constitutional authority to take this nation to war against a country of 70 million people unless we're attacked or unless there is proof that we are about to be attacked. if he does, if he does, i would move to impeach him. >> bill: obviously syria's not going to attack the usa. so biden has changed his tune, has he not, cameron? >> impeachable offense? sure has. syria hasn't attacked the u.s., so bombing now would contradict what biden said in '07 for sure.

president obama said the president needs congressional approval, too. he did it in libya, seems ready to do it in syria. more than 90 house members have signed a letter to the president demanding that congress first debate and vote on military action, but lawmakers are on vacation for the next two weeks and there's no plan to bring them back now. the brits have u.n. resolution, but looks like the administration will pass that, authorizing force. u.n. weapons inspectors have not been able to get to the site and verify that it was assad that used the chemical weapons, notwithstanding the intelligence from the israelis that james has reported on. there's some that would argue that it's possible the chemical weapons were used by the rebels. in the senate you have rand paul and others arguing congress should debate a response after some of the evidence has been verified. as for timing it's imminent more than likely. the president is supposed to leave for the g-20 economic summit in russia in six days. we've heard talk of this being a short exercise, two or three days with missile strikes before the president heads to saint

petersburg. today house speaker john boehner sent a letter to the president, saying you need to explain what this is about. the white house said it's not a regime change they can't blow up the chemical weapons without gas, and boehner is asking what's the point of this? >> bill: isn't it more likely that the president will go to russia before he does anything? i don't know if he has to rush into this. it would be better for him to consult with congress, maybe have a vote on it, would it not? >> there's no question that's the position of congress. certainly the position of barack obama and joe biden -- >> bill: i meant for the whole world to see, look, we're taking this seriously, but why do we have to do it on friday? you know, we don't have to do it that -- >> also a muslim holiday, but that doesn't leave enough time for a two to three-day attack before the president gets on a plane to saint petersburg. >> bill: why would he launch that will blow up every kind of

thing in the summit? pardon the pun. >> that yes question. why do this you're not going to be pose assad, why do this if you're not going take the weapons out of his hands, lots of whys. >> bill: rosen said the degrading of it. we should be very deliberate and methodical. there's no rush on this. gentlemen, thank you very much. we appreciate it. plenty more aheads "the factor" moves ahead this evening. is facebook addictive and dangerous to your health? dr. keith ablow says yes. and then more miley cyrus and bradley manning. no, manning doesn't want to be miley. miley. it's a whole different

>> bill: the impact segment tonight, facebook, it is estimated that more than a billion people worldwide use this internet service to interact with others and get their own messages out. but like most things in cyberspace there is a down side. joining us now from boston, psychiatrist and fox news that was dr. keith ablow who believes facebook may be dangerous to your health. how so, doctor? >> well, i'm not the only one, bill. we've got data now streaming in, and that's why i've called for the surgeon general to literally put a warning on the homepage of facebook saying this could be dangerous to your health, just like on cigarettes, because the university of michigan, universities abroad, cal state, have all shown that facebook can

increase depression, can increase feelings of isolation, decrease friendships and satisfaction, with those, increase alcohol abuse. we have enough data that we have to acre on this addictive behavior and consider it a danger. >> bill: all right. i'm not so sure. i think this might be a ruse. >> how so? >> bill: anything can lead to depression. i mean, the new york jets, if you're a jet fan, you're depressed. you're just depressed. all right? you go to a singles bar and some girl says, you look like a zombie, you're depressed. all right? i don't know. so you got facebook -- by the way, full disclosure, i'm not on facebook. it princes frightens me. it's way out of my league. >> it should. >> bill: tell me why a machine -- all right? then a little program inside a machine is dangerous to a human being. >> i will.

and, first of all, let me say the university of michigan study, they looked at all other factors. the only factor that was consistent in increasing depression among their study group was the more you used the facebook, the more you said you were depressed. that's an isolated finding. why would that happen? number one, it's depositing yourself into an alternate reality, where you're creating a little mini tv show about yourself. >> bill: okay. >> you're lying often about how happy you are, other people are portraying themselves as incredibly content. people get tremendously anxious about whether they're getting enough likes for photos that they post. these are adolescents and teens, bill, that we're exposing to this. >> bill: lighten photos? what does that mean? >> no. likes. >> bill: they put a picture of themselves with their cocker spaniel and want people to like that picture. >> yes. they obsess over it, get anxious

about it, judge themselves about it. they're addicted to it. >> bill: i don't want to be unkind to anybody about this statement, but if you're depressed because somebody doesn't like your picture with your cocker spaniel, you're screwed up. >> it's the same as alcohol or cocaine. it's like telling someone not using cocaine, why are you depressed? you did this to yourself. yes, this is a drug too. people use it willingly, but it's clearly addictive. and now boston lawier jeffrey denar, i've had discussions with him here, looking into a potential action against facebook. >> bill: legal action? he wants to sue facebook? >> legal action. >> bill: because he wants money. >> because they are causing these disorders. >> bill: facebook doesn't force anybody to go on it. that's a bunch of bunk. >> this is the tobacco industry -- >> bill: stay away from that. you know i'm looking out for

you. stay away from that lawsuit. that's a bunch of bull. however, i do agree with your assertion, because i've seen it firsthand, that a lot of these internet sites are addictive. what is bit them that makes them so appealing and drives people and people can't stay away? what is it? you're a psychiatrist. tell me. >> bill, exactly, it's the same as any drug. what draws people to use pot, alcohol, cocaine? they don't want to face their real problems. they don't want to deal with their real inner feelings. so they run to the drug. this drug allows you to exit yourself, pretend everything's fine, pretend you have hundreds or thousands of friends, that everybody is happy just like they're on ecstasy. well, listen, whether the drug is virtual and prom mel gated by a company making billions by dispensing it to billions, or it's cocaine down the street, it's the same thing. it's wrong. these people should have a warning from the surgeon general on their homepage. >> bill: all right, doctor. i appreciate it.

officially bored. we are bored with people like you incessantly feeling the need to shock us square. you're insipid, because you don't have an act. that foam finger you used will last longer on the landfill than your career. you know something i would say, i hope you got something tucked away. if i was robin thicke, i'd fire my people. he's got the hottest song in america, the kid can sing, and all of a sudden he's in gulliver's travel. i got a good look at the tongue. the coloration was bad, baby. you got to get a good look at it. i had a long look at it because it was constantly unflurried like the fire hose bruce willis used to go between floors in "die hard." >> bill: a lot to digest.

>> bill: don't do that. >> once again, i'm just bored with this kid. listen, i'll nick for the operation, give an extra $5. can you just shut up about every detail of your life for a while? go in. i don't care. listen, at what point in the sexual metamorphis did they transfer you over from the shawshank wing into the prison wing? when does that happen? operation or not, there's a good chance, bradley, you're living the next 35 of your life as a woman. you don't want the name whistleblower in there. that's a bad prison nickname. >> bill: this is an embarrassment across the board. what gets lost in this, of course, is that the man committed espionage against the united states. that's all lost in his crazy "i want to be a woman" thing. >> the only part of it that's not a freak show is if a guy is a woman and has to become --

listen, when somebody does that, i take that seriously. i mean, what a drastic step for a man to do that. so the only part of this that does make sense to me is if the kid -- i don't want to pay for it. but if the kid feels he's a woman trapped in a man's body, i feel empathy for that. the whole rest of the thing is a freak show. >> right i will tell you this, if he does go ahead with it, he'll look like that linda england chick from abu ghraib. she looked the other way. they might pass in the night. >> bill: i vaguely remember what the woman looks like. we're going to move on to al jazeera. >> all right. >> bill: have you been watching the debut week of the arab-backed network? >> the other day said al jazeera launched, and i quite frankly went into the bunker when i heard those words. you know, i was watching al jazeera, and they had an al jarreau concert on. it was followed by an al jolson film, which prized me because

he's a jew. now listen, they have the equivalent of "60 minutes" over there. i'm telling you, if you're watching the al jazeera "60 minutes" and hear tick, tick, tick coming from your tv, dive out of the room. >> bill: we don't want anything to do with that, right? i don't think al jazeera will be successful. i don't think there's a big demand for it. one of their ads, they go no talking points, a reference to your humble correspondent here. you know, that's fine with me. no talking points. >> well, yeah, they may not have your talking -- they may have your talk points, but not your ratings. >> bill: and they'll never get them. miller and i, jacksonville, florida, saturday, october 12th. i will be solo in montgomery, 26th. details on billoreilly.com. did you see that, two teenagers shoot a baby in the face? now their lawyers are attacking

child. >> is there any dispute about the eyewitness testimony that elkins shot the baby? >> not so far. the first defense witness was called today. 21-year-old of the woman. >> is there more than the woman who saw elkins shoot the baby? >> two witnesses. one said she had trouble seeing over the bushes. it's the mother's story. >> that's why they are trying to slime the mother. elkins said he didn't do it. >> right. they are trying to bring in other issues. >> there is a lot of forensics evidence. >> insurance policy that was bought. the fact is it doesn't matter. the mother's credibility is less an issue than the fact the child lost his life. he'll never see another day. >> we'll let everybody know what happened in the trial. all right. in oxford, massachusetts, a former air force guy named james glasser served two tours in

we discussed it with miller in jest a few minutes ago. mr. cyrus was smart not to appear. he should, however, have issued a statement saying something like, i'm very disappointed. every father has a duty to guide their children away from harmful and foolish activities. ms. cyrus demeaned herself. because she's in the public eye the situation is out of hand. that's your tip of the day. parents should keep personal stuff private, but in this case as a responsible father, billy ray should use his position to show his disapproval. who knows? maybe miley will wise up. that's it for us today. please check out the fox factor website. oreilly@foxnews.com. new word, fubbery.
